Biography
Refimprove|date=September 2010The Architechs are a pioneering UK garage group consisting of Tre Lowe and City and, for a short period, also Kevin Williams (K-Warren).
They gained international attention in the summer of 1998 after remixing Brandy (entertainer)|Brandy & Monica (singer)|Monica 's " The Boy Is Mine " selling over 40,000 copies of the Bootleg recording|bootleg .Citation needed|date=June 2011 Up to this point speed garage had used mainly sampling (music)|samples and the kind of raw sounds most commonly heard on hard house records. The R& B#Contemporary R& B|R& B crowd, already intrigued by the vocal element of the scene, was more than ready to embrace the shift in direction kickstarted by Architechs - the first time anyone had laid down a full length R& B vocal over a UK garage#2-step|2-Step backing . http://www.angloplugging.co.uk/artist.cfm? artistID=6 Angloplugging.co.uk An onslaught of Garage/R& B bootlegs followed. They also produced remix es for several popular musician|artists such as the All Hooked Up|All Saints , Gabrielle (singer)|Gabrielle , Justin Timberlake and 'N Sync , Usher (entertainer)| Usher , Mariah Carey , Faithless , Garbage (band)| Garbage , Beenie Man and Jamelia amongst others. Several of their tracks have been featured on Pure Garage .
With the release of "Show Me The Money" the group were interviewed on Popworld . The Architechs were scheduled to release a full length album in early 2002, but it seems to have never surfaced.
The Architechs' Tré and City had been producing R& B separating for years until "The Boy is Mine" rework which featured a then unknown K-Warren. After the success of the release and other R& B-flavored garage they felt they could be more successful outside the struggling United Kingdom|UK R& B scene and in the Garage scene. As K-Warren left to pursue a solo (music)|solo career, Lowe and City hooked up with one of City's previous collaborators "Nana", who features on both of the Architechs commercially successful single (music)|singles , and released a solo R& B record in 2005.
